Abstract

The article presents information on the legislation of a law in the U.S. according to which misdemeanor offenses will be issued citations or summonses instead of arresting them. It informs that this law helps in reducing police processing time and makes life a bit easier for minor criminals. According to a court, custodial arrest alone is enough to ensure concern for officer safety and in the absence of arrest there must be circumstances to arise reasonable suspicion of danger.
